Support for Markdown output in AI Chat

[BernhardBaumrock]

Hi everyone, cursor is great, thank you very much :)

I'd like to use cursor for helping me to write better docs for my modules, but unfortunately both the chat and the inline-AI break when markdown files have code blocks in it:

Here is my markdown code to reproduce:

  # This is a demo
  
  ```php
  $foo = 'foo';
  ```
  
  ## Some more text
  
  ```php
  $bar = 'bar';
  ```

+1 I really need the ability to edit markdown formated docs. As of the last update markdown breaks randomly even without code blocks

[Shakerrry]

An workaround I found until this is fixed is to prompt it to return it in an escaped string format. Then copy the code generated code and unescape it manually using something like this

[BernhardBaumrock]

Thx @Shakerrry you can actually do the same directly in cursor by first prompting "return escaped markdown" and then when its done prompt "now return markdown" and the final result will be ready to copy:

Then click on the final copy icon and paste it into your .md file

Same issue here!

Same issue here, I've just asked it to not use code blocks in the meantime. That works in the meantime.

Seems to be fixed in 0.42 !

A workaround on 0.41 is to prompt the model to use ~~~ to denote markdown codeblocks in replies. (or quadruple backticks)

[BernhardBaumrock]

Yeah! Thx!

Unfortunately I have to reopen this as it still does not work properly
